Robison Elementary School

Public Grades PK, KG-5

Summary

Robison Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the Tucson Unified District in Tucson, Arizona, with a student population of 265 that is predominantly Hispanic (74.34% in 2022-2023).

Despite its relatively low student-teacher ratio, Robison Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state averages in academic metrics. In 2022-2023, only 14% of 5th graders were proficient or better in Science, compared to 22% for the district and 34% for the state. This underperformance is likely exacerbated by the school's high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 72.46% to 75.85% in recent years, indicating significant economic challenges faced by the student population. The school's 1-star rating from SchoolDigger in the 2022-2023 school year further highlights its struggles to provide a high-quality education.

Interestingly, the nearby Borton Primary Magnet School and Lineweaver Elementary School have significantly higher academic performance and SchoolDigger ratings, despite serving similar student populations. This suggests that there may be opportunities for Robison Elementary to learn from the practices and strategies of these higher-performing schools to address its own challenges and improve educational outcomes for its students.
